If data sharing was conditioned on not paying for the app use, than this could be against what this forum usually stand for.

But can you retroactively change a license? If you release v1 and v2 under GPL and then switch to a proprietary license for v3, I'm assuming v2 can still be forked, since many people now have started using that code under the license they were offered at the time?

If this is true, I don't think it's such a disaster as it's made out to be that OSS projects go proprietary, because if the interest is high enough, it can still continue as an OSS project in a fork.

Why do we have so many different configure / build systems and none of them can run their config checks in parallel.

Compiling Gentoo packages on a 32 core 64 threadripper is getting ridiculous with many packages, even some "larger" ones, taking longer to configure than to actually compile.

The cost of governance is enormous, there is no need to make it even more complex than it is.

There are plenty of places that have really benefited from adopting technology solutions to governance problems effectively. The transparency in processes and policy can really strengthen democracy. It is especially critical in developing economies who cannot afford non tech solutions

India itself for example has pretty robust electronic voting system for the last two decades, and is able to run it pretty securely and effectively. The cost of an election would vastlymore and be more difficult to administer without e-voting. Not mention the opportunity for localized corruption paper voting presents.

The ability to know proposed laws and regulations before and after they are passed, or ability to file your taxes easily all be of immense benefit any community.

This isn't to say that there no challenges with tech there are plenty, however the response should not be luddite and shun all of it in policy making.
Yes, the LGBT community in Norway is still a vulnerable one. While physical violence is much less of a fear now, people have long memories, and people still report being subject to abuse (hate speech, being pushed, etc.).

Further, there are still people living in the closet here, afraid to come out for fear of being disowned by their family or ostracized by their community. Grindr plays a double-edged sword here, because on the one hand it gives people a chance to meet others, but it also creates a risk of them being outed. --That makes people vulnerable to blackmail.
If I could not use chrome on the distro I use (fedora) I would stop using it, but that being said fedora does not actually package chrome, they just have a package to add the google-chrome yum repo, and of course you can just add it yourself without using the package to add it.

And I appreciated that it had Chromium (which it packaged itself) as I also used it.

I doubt that any distro would increase it's user base by not packaging Chromium, as you could just not install it if you don't want it, like with everything else.

But that being said, nothing stops you from voting with your feet and switching to a distro that makes it difficult/impossible to get google chrome and/or Chromium if that will make you happier.
Yeah, the brief thinking I've ever done about the collapse in these scenarios is to potentially band together with some like minded friends and try to setup some subsistence group with hunting, light farming and security.

Firearms are highly regulated where I am from which makes the first and last a little more difficult than they potentially could be.

I really never gave it that much thought to be perfectly frank. Though the point is I feel semi conductors are pretty far down the order of priorities.

I was wondering if someone could explain the countermeasures for such an event. Obviously, as the article states, producers are being shut off in the regions with surplus, while drains, who can afford to shut off, are shut off in the deficit regions.

Is this an automatic process? Or is it more like someone from the company's energy provider calls them and tells them to shut off some devices? And is there not a potential problem, that if too many shut of at once, you now have a surplus again? Or is it coordinated by one single entity?
Curious. I had to read until mid-article to figure out what kind of monitoring we were talking about. Because for a lot of other monitoring use-case (i.e. infrastructural, environmental, biological etc.) it's another story.

Feels like the article has a strong sysadmin/devops bias. Which is fine, but maybe adding "IT" in the title would have been better :)

(2) In sexual reproduction, each generation of offspring from population n can generate on the order of log(n) bits of information

That's a pretty low amount of light, though. The sun doesn't even have to be above the horizon - Twilight, in different darknesses, exists. And you'll still be looking at things a bit further and the light isn't as concentrated.

The amount of detail sometimes varies, but then again, fog will do that especially when it is bright.
Federated development, federated forges (like a mix of Mastodon and Github)
More than that, after all we already generate make files. So it is 3rd party -> auto tools -> Makefile. Every step in this chain probably adds another layer of obfuscation to any build error you encounter.
To avoid the autotools dependencies, we used autosetup https://msteveb.github.io/autosetup

It's very compact to be included along with the project. It does the configure, which tests compiler features and installed libraries. Then generates the Makefile using your custom Makefile.in.

Basically, it's a compact set of Tcl scripts, it even includes a small Tcl engine, in case it's not installed on the platform.
Yes, that falls under my "type safety semantics are stronger" part of the comment.
There was no blackout _yet_, but it was very close.

> Computers are much more difficult to bring back

In all post apocalyptic scenarios I can imagine, there will still be billions of already existing computers.

Rebuilding humanity will fulfill its computing needs by mining for a MacBook. Some will survive whatever natural disasters hit. As the supply of working ones dwindles, repairers will thrive. The skills and equipment necessary to repair waterlogged or crushed computers is still orders of magnitude less than that required to build a new one.

"Mining and repairing macbooks" as a strategy could last for 1000 years or so if necessary. Of the billions out there, at least a few will be working in 1000 years, if there are humans around with the desire to repair them.

As the repairs get harder and the supply dwindles, there will be more and more incentive to reinvent processes to make new ones. It wont be anywhere near as hard 2nd time round, because I'm sure across all of those billions of buried macbooks there are designs of all the machines necessary.
Contrary to popular belief, the EEA is not required to follow every law set within the European Union.

> The EEA Agreement does not cover the following EU policies: common agriculture and fisheries policies (although the EEA Agreement contains provisions on trade in agricultural and fish products); customs union; common trade policy; common foreign and security policy; justice and home affairs (the EEA EFTA States are however part of the Schengen area); direct and indirect taxation; or economic and monetary union.

I would seriously prefer a service like this to be run by a two man team. Or at least have a guarantee that I'll get automatically notified if something happens to a sole operator.
They are probably referring to Mandibular Advancement Devices. I had the same kind of thing, but more of an acute event precipitated by stressful work, late night partying/drinking, and years of sleep apnea. The device was magic. The morning after the first night wearing it felt like heaven.

I _highly_ recommend calling around and finding a "sleep dentist" who will bill the device as a medical device (not a dental device). This is the only way to get American health insurance to pay for it (they are ~$5k). The down-side is you can only use the device for ~10 years before you get permanent forward lower jaw displacement. But those 10 years allowed me to get everything in order and gracefully switch to a nasal pillow CPAP (which is also heaven once you get the settings right).

If you live in the Boston area or LA area, I can recommend a fantastic sleep dentist that specializes in these devices. PM me.

Cycling fatalities still make up a third of total traffic fatalities in the Netherlands. And almost 70% of those several hundreds who die in cycling accidents are over 65, people who are much more likely to lose their balance and are more sensitive to an impact, meaning a bit of protection would have gone a long way. That's just fatalities, think of all the non-fatal accidents, and how may of the 6000 people hospitalized each year just for unilateral accidents (with bollards or lamp-posts) need an MRI because they bumped their head. The numbers don't get better without adding protection because according to SWOV almost 80% of cycling accidents are unilateral or between cyclists.

But there's a cultural opposition to helmets in many countries, chief among reasons being that "helmets don't look good" and "real cyclists don't need one". If you didn't wear one your whole life, you won't start at 65.
fully agree with the comment. Currently running an >500 node bare metal cluster with GPU nodes in K8s using Mellanox NICs with 80Gbit/s connectivity.

Customer is scheduling work load with Airflow on the K8s farm. Coming from a HPC background, I can confirm your comment. For batch-like workload, K8s and Airflow is a bad choice regarding farm utilization and workload placement. Classic HPC schedulers like Slurm are way more efficient on using farm resources for this kind of workload.

Also networking wise is Calico for high speed Infiniband-based networks might be a bad decision. Control plane is too chatty, and slows down spinning up workload. Also do not ever try IP-on-IP encapsulation - it will make your NIC-speed slow, due to CPU-bound encapsulation.

With Mellanox-class NICS, strive for SDN technology or use network transport modes with hardware acceleration on the NIC, like VLAN-tagging.
Clearview AI has the same impression. They do not allow Norwegians to opt out (by uploading your face) - however they recognize that Switzerland have GDPR despite not being part of EU
The frequencies were in nominal range. The lowest was around 49.7, the highest about 50.6, both of which are within the allowed range of frequency (47.5 - 52.5 is the absolute emergency range, 49-51 is the nominal range, before you start capping power to or from customers).

Romania had a power blackout for a bit, but everything worked as intended and the romanian grid blacking out didn't pull in the rest of the european grid.

A partition between power grid is acceptable to preserve the largest amount of the grid remaining functional. Marrying the partitions together is bothersome but not something that takes forever (took 1 hour in this case).

While 49.7 is very low, most of your devices will not notice and will be fine. Most industrial equipment is largely already coded to handle frequency shifts in favor of keeping the grid stable.
I cant agree with this more, I think though once the mindset takes over than a nomad lifestyle is also something that can be extremely fulfilling and changing peoples ideals of that 50's relic is key. We will probably be hampered by the extreme inequality of wealth for generations to come but I think our generation is losing patience and finding new ways to live happy. VERY Slowly but surely.
This is a big one for Norway as food security has been a big strategic focus for Norway ever since the British naval blockade against Denmark-Norway during the Napoleonic wars, reaffirmed by the hardships during the Nazi occupation.

It's still largely politically untenable in Norway to oppose agriculture subsidies.

These are called ancillary services. There are 3 levels: frequency control (for example dams), primary reverse (fast acting power, in less than 10s), and secondary reserve (slow acting: < 15min).

Participants can either be positive (they consume more energy, for example PHES systems), or negative (they inject or consume less energy).

All these ancillary services are paid (annual auction + per case). Nowadays, it's getting bigger with VPP: virtual power plants, which aggregate small loads (i.e. small ~1MW generators) in order to propose a bigger load to TSOs.

It's all automatic

From your description I thought it would be ad fraud - basically someone sticking autogenerated videos together on channels to make their bots watch them to hopefully get their videos recommended and make ad revenue. After watching 10 (just the beginning) I no longer think that's right (but it still might be a component).

As another commenter mentioned the criminals in the news stories all seem to be black men. There are also news stories at the end too, at least on some. The "actual" or purported content doesn't even seem to be trailers necessarily so much as random clips from the movie or show. It's not edited together like a trailer, at least from the ones I watched.

Someone has a large collection of news reports to find a variety of violent black criminals. That probably means they are putting these together manually? Mental illness? Strange.
I was a little surprised by this: "The DPA highlighted that users should have a real choice not to consent without any negative consequences."

Does this mean that it is unacceptable to run a service which requires consent to share data? That seems overly restrictive - where does that leave services in which sharing data is the whole point of the service?

The article goes on to say: "Grindr made use of the app conditional on consenting to data sharing or to paying a subscription fee."

Is this the unacceptable part? I.e. Grindr is creating a financial penalty for users who exercise their data privacy rights?

Would it be acceptable under GDPR to run an app where the choice is "consent to sharing data or do not use this app at all"?
Infosec slant: such investigations are made way easier by precise timestamping (everything happens in a few milliseconds), but the source of truth (GPS or other GNSS) is usually pretty easily spoofable if you only intend to move the time a few milliseconds. Galileo has a project addressing this (https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regexpert/?do=groupDetail....) but AFAIK it's not in the signal yet. And once it is, it will take years for the devices doing the satellite time to PTP to be replaced/updated.
In that case, you'd understand the difficulties of providing a product or piece of software out of the box with valid certificates without user setup, as you've done (without running all user data through offsite servers).

I too have a working reverse proxy setup or few. I certainly don't expect something using a "localhost site" to come with valid certificates. Unless they somehow get a valid cert for https://localhost

Edit: apologies for the assumption, I didn't realise that you weren't the guy I originally replied to. I'm new around here.
They can't "close that loophole". It's an integral part of the EEA treaty. If the EU withdraws from the EEA treaty it would virtually guarantee that support for EU membership in Norway would sink like a rock out of sheer anger. It would lead to Norway withdrawing further from the EU, not joining, so it'd be entirely counterproductive.

Then you end up with a program where the users can never trust it to have any given feature. They use it all the time to edit .sgi files, and then install it on a new computer, and bam, suddenly, no support for .sgi files.

Or even worse, it is used as a dependency in a script, or it is a library linked by another program, but the author can never trust that any given installation has the feature he actually needs.

It is a mess. Just don't do it.

Just the fact that a blockchain doesn't scale in an obviously good way is probably part of what confused people into not inventing it sooner.

I don't fully get the reason for this project. Does it consider that you (or your community) will build a computer from scratch? In that case OK, I don't know enough but I guess an 8 bit simple computer makes sense, as long as it's something you can build using cables, LEDs and a breadboard.

If the idea is that you gather already manufactured parts, wouldn't it be better to just use some cheap SOC computers like the Raspberry Pi? They're low on power consumption, so powering them wouldn't be much of an issue, and it has greater, easier to use, software.
It would also allow you to have things like a copy of useful Wikipedia articles, videos, photos, etc.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the project goal though.
"Shutting off drains" is known as demand side response or DSR. It's often cheaper, faster, and more environmentally friendly to pay industrial customers to cut their demand by x MW than to fire up x MW of ancillary generation. And as far as grid frequency/balance is concerned, has exactly the same effect.

Often such customers will have flexible demand in the form of non-critical heating or cooling, pumps that only need to run some of the time, etc, which they are very happy to turn off temporarily in return for extra income.

This is indeed an automatic process, triggered in near-real time in response to signals from the grid.
